Apart from a short stint in Labuan off the coast of Sabah many years ago, I never worked anywhere else but in Kota Kinabalu throughout my professional life, at least not until March this year. When I decided to take up a job offer in Kuala Lumpur with my family’s blessings, almost all of my…
I made my first and a surprise trip home recently after I moved to a new city and started a new job. Apart from my siblings who were informed very last minute for the obvious reason that I needed a ride from the airport, I did manage to surprise my parents and friends pleasantly. However,…
At the end of tomorrow I will be celebrating making the two-month mark in my new job. This second month seems to have breezed through as I adjusted and settled in nicely in my new environment in a new city. I have not been blogging since I started work so I thought a short update…

I have a view from my window which never stops to amaze me every single morning… Most mornings Mt. Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia is visible in the foreground and when I see it, I am always reminded of Psalm 121:1-2 — 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does…
